It didn't take long for Jon Fitch to gain the interest of other mixed martial arts promotions following his release from the UFC earlier this week.

Ali Abdel-Aziz, the vice president and matchmaker for World Series of Fighting, confirms to Bleacher Report that they have begun preliminary discussions to potentially bring Fitch to the up-and-coming promotion in 2013.

While no formal offer has been made, Abdel-Aziz says that they have talked to Fitch's management team since his release and are interested in the services of the former UFC welterweight contender.

why wouldn't they be? I strongly question the decision making skills of any non-ufc organization that says they're not information. I'm talking about you bellator! Personally I would want him to go to bellator so we can see Askren vs Fitch because that would be a great match up and would really give us an idea of whether or not Askren is in fact in the top ten ww in mma.
